- Centra Health v. Mullins - amicus curiae brief [PDF]
Description: When an elderly person is the victim of medical malpractice it is often disputed whether he or she died as a result of medical malpractice or whether the victim suffered personal injuries yet died of natural causes. Attorneys Josh Silverman and Carolyn Lavecchia filed this brief in the Virginia Supreme Court arguing the plaintiff can present both personal injury and wrongful death claims to the jury. - Medical Malpractice Legislation Update [PDF]
Description: Josh Silverman authored the attached article on the evidentiary and procedural changes in medical malpractice law passed in the 2004-2005 legislative session. The article was published in the Winter 2005 issue of The Journal by the Virginia Trial Lawyer's Association.
Attorneys at Williamson & Lavecchia lobbied the Virginia General Assembly to preserve the rights of victims to fair compensation for injuries due to medical negligence. As the article explains, the legislation that passed the Virginia General Assembly does not add any new caps or harsh restrictions on the rights of victims and requires the Board of Medicine to investigate physicians who had multiple claims against them. - Trial of a Medical Malpractice Case [PDF]
Description: A chapter authored by Tom Willliamson and published in 2002 by the Virginia Law Foundation in "Medical Malpractice Law in Virginia 2d Ed.".
